Real A/B on a 1-endpoint Weatherly client: baseline silently dropped the explicitly-requested rate limiting; the skill's modular output (separate auth/retry/rate-limiter/errors files) delivered it correctly out of the box. Docked a docs point because the SKILL.md hardcodes the original author's output path (/home/toowired/.claude-artifacts/...) as if universal.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What API Integration Builder does

Generates a multi-file TypeScript API client (client, types, auth, errors, retry, rate-limiter, mocks) for a third-party REST/OAuth API. Triggers on phrasings like "integrate API", "API client", "connect to service", or a named vendor integration (Stripe, SendGrid, Twilio).

How to install API Integration Builder

git clone https://github.com/Toowiredd/claude-skills-automation
cd claude-skills-automation
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/api-integration-builder ~/.claude/skills/api-integration-builder

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Can I use API Integration Builder with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
